(Vending Machine, Just with Your Face.), a face authentication vending machine utilizing its face authentication ID platform "FreeiD." This initiative is the initial phase towards realizing a new purchasing experience through face authentication, starting with small-scale demonstrations.
This experience was first unveiled at "RetailTech JAPAN 2026" held in March 2026, attracting significant interest from visitors. It is also scheduled for exhibition at "SHINAGAWA TECH SHOWCASE" in April 2026, aiming to broaden opportunities for many people to learn "what kind of future is about to begin."
Furthermore, to convey the world of "Kao Dake de, Jihanki." more clearly, a special website and two types of videos have been released. The first is a demonstration video depicting the flow from face registration to payment, and the second is a brand movie titled "If you have a face, you can do anything." featuring actor Tomoya Maeno, humorously expressing the world of "FreeiD."
## Background of Developing the Face Authentication Vending Machine "Kao Dake de, Jihanki."
DXYZ has been developing "FreeiD," a face authentication ID platform that realizes "Connecting the world, just with your face.®" with a single face registration, providing face authentication services in various aspects of daily life, such as entry/exit in condominiums and offices, and identity verification in theme parks.
Moreover, DXYZ is considering the commercialization of "FreeiD Pay," a payment service for stores, to realize a world where one can freely go out "just with their face" without carrying keys, wallets, or smartphones. By collaborating with FreeiD-introduced condominiums, offices, theme parks, etc., which extend "outside" of stores, in addition to initiatives "inside" stores, DXYZ aims to realize a world where the entire daily life flow is connected "just with your face."
The newly announced "Kao Dake de, Jihanki." is a new challenge in the out-of-store purchasing domain, an extension of these efforts, and was born as a touchpoint where the purchasing experience through face authentication can be felt more intimately. Vending machines are abundant in daily life and are the area where the "convenience of face authentication" can be experienced most intuitively. Therefore, this is positioned as the first step in verifying the value of face authentication payment "outside" of stores.
Moving forward, DXYZ will continue to promote the social implementation of safer and more comfortable purchasing experiences centered on face authentication technology, and by collaborating with FreeiD-introduced condominiums, offices, theme parks, etc., will realize a world where one can freely go out "just with their face" without carrying keys, wallets, or smartphones.
## Background of Video Production
To help people understand the purchasing experience through face authentication with "Kao Dake de, Jihanki." more intuitively, two types of videos were produced.
The first is a demonstration video that captures actual usage scenes. It depicts the entire process from face registration, credit card registration, and PIN code setting in the FreeiD app, to face authentication, payment, and product receipt at the vending machine. This allows first-time users to quickly understand "how to use it" and "how easy it is." The production is simple and highly visible, designed to naturally convey the image of a "future where you can buy hands-free" in your daily life.
The second is a brand movie titled "If you have a face, you can do anything." featuring actor Tomoya Maeno. Through a humorous story where a rabbit mascot struggling amidst children in a shopping mall suddenly removes its head in front of a vending machine and purchases a drink via face authentication, it expresses the world of FreeiD.
